Tom, I have got to say that you really know your stuff, I figured that I should have just asked you in the first place. I have been reading through the Futaba forums to try and see what other people were doing with the 9CAP/FASST and most seem happy with it, I dont know, I really love this radio and I think thats where my hesitation comes in to replace it (plus I have never used a JR.) I am pretty sure that I am going to stick with the LiPos since most people have so much good luck with this setup and I already own a nice charger. I may give you a shout and see if you want to "upgrade" your 9CAPS back to FM and give that module a good home. Thanks, Derek.
